Microsoft Patent 060606 (patentscope.wipo.int)

I don’t think anything else needs to be said. Do your own research and draw your own conclusions.

What are the chances a device on the body that is used for digital translations would have a patent number 060606 ?

Also, Microsoft patented this on March 26th of 2020.

The full patent id is WO/2020/060606.

From the Patent:

“Human body activity associated with a task provided to a user may be used in a mining process of a cryptocurrency system. A server may provide a task to a device of a user which is communicatively coupled to the server. A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify if the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified.”

Okay, this is creepy. Mark of the beast?

But read for yourself. Here is the link to the patent:
